Applies with brush or sprayer – cleans up with soap and water!
General Finishes’ Milk Paint provides a tough, high-quality painted finish for your project. It is designed for wood surfaces and is available in 20 of today’s most popular colors. It can be applied directly from the can to your work piece with a synthetic or foam brush; or applied using an HVLP or conventional sprayer. If thinning is necessary, milk paint can be thinned using water. Milk Paint is UV resistant and is suitable for both interior and exterior furniture. Depending on the humidity, it can be sanded and re-coated in 1 – 2 hours. Use Fine (220 grit) sandpaper between coats. Milk Paints can be applied over existing finishes and will leave a low luster satin finish. Should a higher shine or more protection be required we recommend General Finishes High Performance Top Coat. Covers 400 – 500 sq. ft/gallon; mix before using. Color Chart is not an exact representation of colors; use for reference only. Made in USA.
Milk Paints all meet the environmental GREEN guidelines set forth for Architectural, Cabinets and Furniture (EPA 40 CFR Parts 9, 59 & 63), California Wood Coatings (SCAQMD Rule 1136), Kitchen Cabinet Makers Association (ESP - Environmental Stewardship Program), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

Comments about General Finishes Milk Paints:
Spray it with a HVlP spray gun 1.7 tip. Thin with water. Add water till you get the feel of the paint. Thin too much and it will run not enough will leave overlap. Allow to dry good before second coat fo nice even finish

Taking 3 coats, but worth it
By Henrietta homeowner
from cow country in New York
Easy to work with. No obnoxious odor. Produces a great satiny country finish. I used the tuscan red and unfortunately it's taking me 3 coats to cover completely, but it will be worth it in the end. I have to order an unexpected second quart to finish my project.

I'm a huge fan of General Finishes Milk Paint. I use it regularly especially when finishing furniture items for myself or others. It does not leave any brush strokes and I love the matte finish. The colors available are awesome and clean-up is a breeze.
Great stuff
By Butch

Love these products. My wife has had me refinish several pieces of wood furniture. I've painted them Lamp Black, sanded off some of the black areas to expose the wood and used their High Performance Top Coat to finish it off. I apply at least 5 coats of this Top coat with a light sanding in between coats. Having so many coats allows me to take 0000 steel wool and rub it down to a very smooth glass type finish. It takes a lot of elbow grease but the end product looks awesome. The outcome is a used furniture finish with what appears to be wear areas where the exposed wood is.
